Published papers with data modified to achieve desired results. Too many people get tempted when their measurements are a little off of the result to avoid days of work recalibrating and rerunning experiments and just 'fix' the results to save time.
Fraud has really taken over. At least here at MIT, I know of 3 profs in the physics department who got their tenure by fraud, and that's just the ones I know for sure, the actual numbers no doubt are worse.
After all, who decides? An astronomer, who studies stars, or a planetary scientist who studies planets? Answer: planetary scientists. And they are in consistent agreement: pluto is a planet.
Where did you get the 64k? The spec says: * 16 bit unsigned words * 0x10000 words of ram * 8 registers (A, B, C, X, Y, Z, I, J) * program counter (PC) * stack pointer (SP) * overflow (O)
You don't really need a compiler to write programs for a device with less than 512 bits of memory. You can write the whole program by hand in less than the time required to launch a compiler.
Yep, peer review is where science is fundamentally failing today. The people doing the peer review are not anywhere close to critical enough, and are clearly passing about 10 papers for every 1 which they actually should.
Which is kind of the point of the whole thread to me. Most of what is being reported is junk, and everyone who is basing their opinions of what ought to happen to Zimmerman are largely doing so based on false information. Zimmerman was 250, 7 years ago. At the time of the incident, 170 pounds. Trayvon was also 140... years ago. 160 at the time of the incident.
I kind of wonder what the legal requirements are... I mean, I'm an astronaut. That's my one and only desired career. Sure, they won't take me in the space program because I have glasses, but I'm actively pursuing change in that policy. I write code on the side to pay the bills while I work on my real career.
Our country has a strange love relationship with guns, and as a result there are a lot of weird laws surrounding guns and their use. It dates back to the founding, and the desire of the revolutionaries to ensure that the populace could resist oppression in the future, by force. Ever since people have been attached in odd ways to guns here.
Your facts are disputed. The claim from the other side is that while in fact complying with the dispatcher's request and heading back to his car, the kid came after him.
I assume you are not from the US. In the US, it varies by state. Part of the controversy involved in this case revolves around the fact that the state in which it occurred, Florida, is a 'stand your ground' state, which permits basically unlimited violence in response to being attacked.
Most police consider it acceptable to call 911 to report potential crime. The top search results on 'when can I call 911' on google are pretty consistent on this point.
Exactly. And my argument is that the 'less government' people should work to pull the democrats in the direction of less government rather than align themselves with the 'more government: we need it to legislate morality' people.

I'd actually say it's under attack on a lot of fronts. It made NPR last week.
I don't like it because the IAU aren't the most qualified scientific organization to construct a definition.
It is among the nearest .000001% of all stars.
That's a definition, not the definition of a planet. And it's the IAU at that, who are hardly experts in the field.
That's the IAU definition. They are not planetary experts, and should not be consulted when constructing a planetary definition.

That's 32 words, or 64 bytes, not kbytes.
It also has less than 512 bits of memory, and therefore can't store even a single bitcoin hash.

Right, but also from a significant number of people in the astronaut corps, who would all have a hard time coming up with any other job title.

Your 'fact' about their relative sizes is also incorrect.

But reality is 72% positive for Obama, vs only 34% positive for McCain, so their stories are tracking reality quite well.
I understand your claim. I think reality has pretty solidly disproven it.

But if not for the TSA, you'd never retire? ;-)
